Before Snowfall

Sweet November came quickly leaving colourful October behind from patches of green now adorned with golden hues some leaves still clung to branches but most had blown away the leaves then would race up and down the street back and forth as if in a hurry only to gather in a corner and pile up on each other some had speed others skipped slowly undecided which direction to go they just wanted to finish the race. before the coming snow.

We had a sizzling October month, and a very cold weather in November so far, it should have been the other way round. I loved your description of the moving leaves, so typical in gusty winds. ABSOLUTELY GREAT. HUGS AND BLESSINGS, JENNIFER.

- We had a beautiful October with lots of sunshine (better than the summer) ... November has been rainy ... - Spring feels far away ... many dark, wet and cold days in the near future - hugs

This is such a light hearted and fun poem. The description is great and I could see the colored leaves whooshing along the ground. Love it. God Bless, JB

Hi Phyllis, I like the description of leaves gathering in a corner, and wanting to finish before the snow, feels like fall to me ~

Thanks for your kind comment on my poem. The leaves sadly are almost all gone with a bit of snow on the ground. I miss all the green of summer. love phyl
